    This restaurant is exceptional. The food, service, and atmosphere are amazing. The food is so fresh. This place gets it. The Calamari was like butter. The chicken scarp was perfection. My wife had the rigatoni which brought me back to Italia. Give this place a try. The owner Peppe walked each and every table to make sure everything was good. This place takes it to the next level. The service is top notch. We weren't even able to pour our own wine. They were right on top of everything. If I could give 10 stars I would. The decor is perfection, the home atmosphere with a perfect flair makes this place an old school restaurant. They even opened the door as we departed. From the time you walk in you will be treated like royalty.
